This is a story of boy meets girl, begins the wry, probing narrator of 500 DAYS OF SUMMER, and with that the film takes off at breakneck speed into a funny, true to life and unique dissection of the u...( read more

November 20, 2009A near perfect film that I will definately be seeing again and again. One of the year's finest.

November 18, 2009When Ponyo came out, I stole Roger Ebert's line about Almost Famous and said I wanted to hug the movie. When I finally saw (500) Days of Summer, I wanted to hug, kiss, lick, squeeze, and make gentle, passionate love to the movie. Finally, a 5 star film of 2009. Finally, a trul...( read more)

November 17, 2009This movie is just extraordinarily tremendous. No sappy storytelling, no happy endings, no unusual situations, no unbelievable individuals. It's so real and so de facto, I would have no problem believing in it. A tale of unrequited love, of hearts breaking and mending and all ove...( read more)

November 13, 2009A fantastic romantic-comedy, that isn't afraid to explore the bitter side of love. Levitt is brilliant, capturing the insecure and emotionally vulnerable man, too seldom seen in films. The humour is also right on the money. Being awkward, witty and downright hilarious. Levitt's d...( read more)

November 13, 2009Picture this: a group of friends go to the movies. One of them is a sweet, dreamy guy who recently broke-up with his sweet, rocker girlfriend but can't let go. Another one is a metalhead girl who can't move on after she broke-up with her boyfriend... more than a year ago. Two of ...( read more)

El pero que yo pongo es el final de la historia, tal vez cortarla 5 minutos antes hubiese sido mucho mejor... recomen...( read more)

November 19, 2009"it is not a love story" yes not the love story that has a happy ending. it is not the love story we used to see in movies. IT IS A STORY ABOUT LOVE. love is not always where or when we look for it might be in autumn while we are lokking in summer.

November 17, 2009Cute. It's a film for teenagers to gently break to them the news that life doesn't always have hollywood endings.... and yet somehow it does.... with the entrance of autumn... hmmm....
Zoey Deschanel is pretty good in her role.. -
November 17, 2009---- i really love the movie :)
---- most true-to-life romantic comedy
---- It's an anti-fairytale about a boy who falls head over heels for the kind of girl who doesn't believe in love or fate.
" I, like being on my own. I think relationships are messy and people?s feelings get...( read more)

Everything that's wrong, on the surface, with (500) Days of Summer pales in light of everything that's going on beneath its surface. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Much like Annie Hall did for a previous generation, (500) Days of Summer may be the movie that best captures a contemporary romantic sensibility. full review
July 16, 2009
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
For all its ambitiousness, (500) Days of Summer feels synthetic and derivative, a movie that's popping with perceptions while searching for a style. full review
July 16, 2009
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
A fresh July breeze among recent (and mostly stale) romantic-comedy offerings. full review
July 16, 2009
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
The ending is tidy and way too cute, but (500) Days is otherwise a different kind of love story: an honest one that takes a piece out of you. full review
July 16, 2009
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
The movie charmed me enough to send me out smiling, and I can see younger filmgoers taking it very much to heart. full review
July 16, 2009
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
In romance, we believe what we want to believe. That's the reason 500 Days of Summer is so appealing. full review
July 15, 2009
Armond White, The New York Press
It is so annoyingly cute about the smartness of middle-class young white people in love that one quickly realizes it is only about that -- not love nor passion as everyone experiences it. full review
July 13, 2009
David Edelstein, New York Magazine
There's no real drama when the inner life of the female lead is so shrouded, even if that's the point. full review
